HOME CV

Hello Old Friend!

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Kahlert School of Computing at the University of Utah, where I’m a member of the Flux Research Group. My research interests lie in the broad areas of security, privacy, and internet measurement. I focus on developing new tools and techniques to advance the understanding of security and privacy issues through internet measurement.

My research is advised by Prof. Robert Ricci at the University of Utah. I closely collaborate with Prof. Alex Gamero-Garrido, University of California, Davis, Prof. Kevin Borgolte, Ruhr University Bochum (RUB), Germany and Prof. Sandra Siby, New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD).

I am currently a Pulse Research Fellow (2025), supported by the Internet Society to study IPv6 deployment. Previously, I had the privilege of being a Fellow at the EPFL Summer Research Institute (SuRI 2023), was a part of the Georgia Tech’s Second Annual Cybersecurity Summer Institute cohort and a pre-doctoral fellow at Cornell, Maryland, Max Planck Pre-doctoral Research School (CMMRS 2022).
